The ambiance is intimate as it is a smallish room but so inviting and comfortable with comfy chairs and tables, attentive service, nothing pretentious but the food and drinks were five star flavors and presentation. So glad this spot is in our neighborhood - just what North Oak Cliff and Bishop Arts needed. We will be back many many times!

It's a very cute small restaurant and it should be that way so that they can serve the quality of food that they do. I recommend this place to everyone I know after eating there. We ordered several small plates and shared them and everything was amazing. I would say the Agua Chile was my favorite.

I was craving a seafood boil recently, and ever since my partner and I moved in the central Dallas area, we found Sunset Crab shack and quickly made it our go to for seafood boil! The service is always so nice and even on the busiest of days, we have never had to wait for a table! The vibe is quaint, and definitely fits in the vibe of the local Bishop arts area as itself is a old house turned restaurant! It's also become really known for it's back patio where they host bands and djs! This time I ordered their Friday special which is a 1/2 pound of snow crab, 1/2 pound of shrimp, a corn, potato, and sausage all for $27! The reason I always find myself coming back is because of their sunset sauce! I have had a few places in Dallas and this sauce is just so good! I also order the spice flavor diablo, and I feel like they are the only place that really does not hold back with spice, which I LOVE! My boyfriend opted for a buffalo sandwich and he loved it! Safe to say we both left very satisfied!

Pre gaming before they go out I suppose. I sat inside in the back away from the crowd. I ordered the oysters and white tea shot. They were having $5 shot specials. The oysters were reasonably priced and very succulent and fresh. LOVED IT. The shots were huge! So I was happy with what I ordered. My partner on the other hand ordered the fajita plate and it was a let down. The chicken, sausage and shrimp were ok but the fajita steak was so dry and tough. I couldn't eat swallow one and just spat it out. Very disappointing. I would come back for the oysters :)

The food and service were both great, and the experience overall was better than I expected. They even had live music, a mariachi solo singer walking around the tables, which added such a nice, lively touch. They even took photos of us, which was very cool and made the night feel special. I ordered the fish, and it was really good. This is a great place to bring your parents or family when you want good food and a fun, welcoming atmosphere. Would definitely come back!

We started with brussels sprouts. Then a four meat pizza, a pesto pizza, and a burger. All delicious. Against our better judgment, we ordered a chocolate crème brûlée, which was a new dessert for all of us and even though we only planned on having a few bites, we almost finished it. Absolutely amazing if you're a chocolate connoisseur. Teamwork is obvious a waitress we didn't know offered to box up our pizzas. You're truly missing out if you don't hit this spot when you are in the area . Service, food and atmosphere top . Even the patrons are cool, laid-back and friendly.

I did have a few Paloma's or there version of one and it was phenomenal. They are true mixologists at this location. We had a few salads and they were tasty with the house made vinaigrette.

We arrived in Dallas with that particular kind of hunger that only travel can summon equal parts…read moreexhaustion and anticipation. After a long day in transit, all we wanted was something deeply satisfying, the kind of meal that feels like a reward. When my mother suggested Aunt Irene's Kitchen, there was no hesitation. She spoke of it with the reverence reserved for places that become part of your personal geography former neighborhood staples, the kind you measure other meals against. Years ago, when she lived nearby, this was her spot. And now, standing beside her in a line that stretched out the door, it was clear we weren't the only ones holding onto that sentiment. The queue moved with surprising ease, a quiet efficiency that felt almost practiced. Inside, the energy was unpretentious and steady. Our cashier, while not particularly warm, was brisk and knowledgeable answering questions with the kind of clarity that suggests confidence in the product more than performance. We ordered simply: wings with fries, and two plates of fried fish with fries. The wings hadn't been part of the original plan, but a fellow patron mid-meal and visibly excited leaned over to insist. It felt like advice worth taking. And it was. The food arrived in its own time this is not a place for the impatient but what it lacked in speed, it more than made up for in flavor. The fish was crisp and tender, the wings richly seasoned, each bite layered with the kind of depth that doesn't rush itself. Then there was the jalapeño tucked alongside the plate like a quiet signature. It cut through the richness with a bright, deliberate heat, a small but memorable detail that elevated the entire experience. The dining room itself is modest and well-kept, with many opting to take their meals to-go or retreat to their cars. There's an ease to it all ample parking, friendly faces coming and going, a sense of community that lingers longer than the wait. Because that's the thing about places like this: they don't just feed you, they remind you why the wait was worth it.

Great service and great food. It's a Dallas staple. The staff has always been welcoming and excited to have my business. The restaurant exudes a small, casual, warm inviting atmosphere. Once you go black you will never go back to anything else. Because I had one taste of that black box at the time and it was over. I didn't think about eating anything else. The fish, wings, shrimp, crab legs everything is on point. Regardless of what you get the food is always hot, flavorful and every bite is delicious. The owner is very personable. The only problem that you will have is deciding what to get. My solution: get one of each. But definitely give Aunt Irene's a try.
